While on a whirlwind tour of Northern Michigan, we stopped at the Hartwick Pines State Park in Grayling, Michigan.\u00a0 The White Pines, which once covered all of the state, have been protected within the 49 acres of the park.\u00a0 It is one of the last stands of old growth trees in the USA.\u00a0 Walking along the 1.5 miles of paths which meander among the towering trees it is easy to understand how logging became such an important part of Michigan history.<\/p>\n

Nestled in the center of the forest is a replicated logging camp, now turned museum.\u00a0 Built in the 1930’s the replicated logging camp represents life from the 1890’s. Here we were able to view\u00a0 the equipment, tools, a\u00a0 bunkhouse, food preparation area and an old sawmill.<\/p>\n
